Two versions of a 'serialkiller' logo. A play of the knife icon within a 'recycle' logo, alluding to the 'regular and constant' nature of the 'kills'. Comments?

mini-challenge: solutions by Alessandro Pocaterra

Previously, we had posted some design proposals which had proved elusive to us for years (!); we never expected a solution for them, and definitely not quite so soon. Guess what, Alessandro Pocaterra from Italy proved us wrong. We were amazed, really, with his designs (NastyBasty's solution too, which we had highlighted in one of our recent posts), of how simple thin lines, fuss-free managed to be so effective. Here they are:
'Stephen.King's-Dark.Tower' - 'Eddie.Oy.Jake-Susannah.Roland' by Alessandro Pocaterra
'Jack.the.Ripper'-'Serial.Killer' by Alessandro Pocaterra
.
Recently, while sorting through our piles of papers (we are teachers, not hoarders, mind), we came across some old drafts of unfinished designs chucked away. So here goes, another list of elusive designs:
1. ambigram of armageddon-apocalypse
2. reflection of liverpool-red.devil
3. ambigram of black(&)white-myth(&)legend
4. reflection of Jack.Daniel
5. ambigram of Douglas.Hofstadter-Godel,Escher,Bach
.
If you're up for the challenge, do email us at: nagfa_ambigram@hotmail.com
Your work will certainly be compiled and shared with our visitors. Thank you in advance!

salam (peace),

reflection: jack.the.ripper-1.serial.killer
.
Avoiding rotational ambigram altogether, we opted for reflection instead to solve this constant mind-itch. Personally love the outcome, especially the Es and the consistent R-K. A little cheat/trick here is the conversion of the 'J' into '1'. Style-wise (though some may beg to differ) very much influenced by NastyBasty's fine works. PowerPoint assisted(!).
